All I can say is dang this little girl should have a modeling contract! She's gorgeous! Photo shoots with her are always SO much fun! 

Birthday party!



Adoption is great! These two little girls are such great friends!!
Mya and Cooper are such good friends its so fun! 

So cute the first meeting! Our two favorite birth mamas! 

Look at those crazy cake eyes!! LOL she is too funny! 

She absolutely LOVES my mom! These pictures are so special especially with all that my mom is going through right now. I love seeing her happy and nothing makes her happier than her grandkids! 


We LOVED meeting your brothers! They are super cute! 
Awe look at our cute little family! Thanks for being such a sweetie to Sierra! It means a lot to us and to her. 


You two and your cute krinkle noses when you laugh! I LOVE this! There are so many similarities between you and Mya its fun to see you all together! Love, love,  LOVE it!



It was so fun to have a pool party. I grew up pretty much living at our community pool because my dad was the manager there for 20 years! This felt like good old school fun for my family and it was fun to have so many special people there with us to celebrate! Thank you for being a part of this very special day with us! It was awesome to have you here. Love ya lots!

Mya's turns 3!!!!

July 24, 2014.......Miss Mya wakes up and knows its her birthday! 

We surprised her with a bouquet of balloons and a birthday outfit!  She was very excited!
She's so sweet we could just eat her up!!!!!!! Can't believe our baby is 3! Yikes where did the time go!

Eating her favorite breakfast, Froot Loops with milk!
Then it was off to a special lunch at her favorite place to eat Firehouse Subs with.....YOU! 
Here she is opening your GIANT bag of neverending fun! 
We were so happy you could come spend some time with us that day! It made everything so special! 



We LOVE you! 
Off to find a bike from Grandma Jody and Papa Arlen! I love how shes scratching her head as if this is such a hard decision....life as a 3 year old is tough! 


We had to stop by Grammy Pammy's to see her! She got her very own pool! So fun! 
We ended the night by stopping by Sierra's house to say hi to her and baby! :)  

What can I say about this sweet little diva.........I can't believe that Mya is 3! She is such a sweet little girl we love her SO much! She is talking up a storm, loves reading, playing with her dolls, she has a HUGE imagination and tells lots of funny stories! She can count to 20, say her ABC's perfectly, recognize numbers 1-10. She is getting better at riding her bike. She loves playing with cousins and neighbor friends. She especially loves Grandmas and Grandpas! She's excited for preschool to start and I'm sure she'll be the smartest one in the class! Oh yes and she has developed quite the sassy attitude! We're trying to teach her to keep her divaness in check but somedays its out of control :) She can do puzzles, draw smiley faces, recognize all letters in the alphabet. She loves watching shows like Spider Man, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Carebears, Spongebob, still all Disney princess shows. She has memorized her favorite books and reads them to us. She loves nursery, she loves praying and says the cutest prayers ever! She loves bossing Louie around and feeding him things hes not supposed to eat :) She loves going shopping for clothes with me and putting makeup on! We are excited to see what this 4th year of her life brings she is an amazing daughter and our lives would be very dull without her shining little spirit in our home! She is AMAZING!

She's gonna be a BIG sister!!

How cute is this! Just a peek into her 3 year old photo shoot!
This is the little gift Sierra gave to Mya when we she told us she "picked us". It was so important to us that the next birth family be fully willing to love and accept Mya as well as us so this meant a lot to us that she thought of little miss Mya too!
Mya was so excited and wasted no time using everything in the gift bag! She drew smiley faces all over herself and everyone that was around her. Nick and I were covered :) 

She also loved the little lip sticks Sierra gave her...so cute!
Our first meeting with Sierra!
May 24th the day she gave us this basket and told us we were getting a boy! Such an exciting day. It brought back so many memories from July 14, 2011 the day we met you and found out we were getting Mya! Adoption is seriously AMAZING!

Mya is so excited!! She talks about "baby brother" almost every single day. She tells me what she's going to do with him and what she's going to teach him. She's even cautious about what she leaves on the floor now. She will put something down, walk away and then say "oops I better pick that up so baby brother doesn't put it in his mouth and choke" lol it's darling! She also says she will share her coke with him.....oops :) I can't believe we will be bringing another little baby home! We are SO excited for Mya to have a sibling she will be the absolute best and she is at a perfect age right now to be a little helpful too....I hope :)

Yeah it's true the girl loves her coke!
